Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Using QTR and the Eye One and Qimage?

2006-08-09 by Ellie Kennard

Thanks Ernst.

In Qimage I would have the option checked to embed the profile on 
printing to file, I guess. Seems simple, at least.

Now once I can find out how the linearisation/calibration process 
works...

What is the Calibration Mode target actually for? I printed it out, 
but it is in colour, not greyscale step wedges, which seems to be 
what the profilemaking needs. So presumably I do the calibration 
first (according to the manual), but using what? Do you know?

Thanks again,

Ellie
